Cheap Suits


You bought your baby that cheap perfume,
that will chase everybody out of the room

You gave your baby a cheap anniversary gift,
then took her to a takeout joint where you don’t have to tip

You brought your baby flowers plucked from a garden,
didn’t have to spend no plastic, they got personally sent

You took your baby to the one dollar matinee,
it had a promotional free popcorn giveaway

You had your baby go get your cheap suits cleaned,
while you sat at home bank counting your beans

Nothing wrong with being frugal, Freddie. Women learn quickly when they first start dating if a man is thrifty or not:)
